Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am interested in working with Hay River, as I have indicated this in the past as well, to provide them the sufficient comfort where they would be prepared firstly to entertain the alternatives that are out there to have birthing in Hay River. That being the use of

midwifery to tie into a birthing team that would be there with midwives, nurses and doctors that would deal with what are characterized or determined to be normal births, which would probably be about half or more of the babies born in Hay River. We're fully prepared to look at getting the resources in there to do that, to make use of all the protocols and all the regulatory issues that were already hashed out in Fort Smith to allow that to happen. If that was done, it would put, I believe, a different complexion on the issue of having to come to Yellowknife and those circumstances would be a lot less. Thank you.
